Fan knocks down Motley Crue guitarist during concert

Mötley Crüe guitarist Mick Mars got an unwanted birthday present from a fan this weekend. According to TMZ.com, Mars was knocked to the ground by an overzealous concertgoer during the band's show in Canada Saturday night, which was also his 62nd birthday.

The man ran across the stage in between songs, knocking over Mars and then making his way to frontman Vince Neil. But security got ahold of him before that and took him away.

Mötley Crüe left the stage for a bit to make sure Mars wasn't hurt. Once they determined he was, they returned to the stage and went on with the show.

They're set to continue the tour Monday night with a show in Brandon, Manitoba.
